Question

while cooking over a campfire you notice that heat from the fire rises and causes tree - leaves above to move. is this an example of conduction?

Explanation:

Conduction is heat transfer through direct contact. In this case, heat from the fire rising and making tree - leaves move is due to convection (the movement of heat through a fluid, here air), not conduction as there is no direct contact between the fire and the leaves for heat transfer by conduction.

Answer:

no
